Head of Marketing
South AfricaPolokwane201 to 500 employeesThe automation removed about four hours a week of follow up admin per rep. The most generous genuine free tier in business software. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.
What works
Sales teams adopt it voluntarily, which is rare. Email sync captures conversations without anyone copying anything. Automation handles the follow up sequence reps used to forget.
What does not
Billing in dollars makes the annual budget a moving target.
